To Be A Cool Kid...

poem by: Jamie Roberts
Written on Nov 11, 2015

Can't let them see your scars;
Using makeup like a clown.
Afraid to spread your wings
You keep your feet glued to the ground.
Don't let then see you cry,
Hold all your emotions in.
Ignore your stomach pains,
'Cause you gotta keep slim.
Point out other people's flaws
So they won't see your own.
Don't let them think you've noticed; 
Just keep playing your phone.
